Chapter 8: Swinging the Army South (II)

When it was lively, Li Xiao walked in from outside the door and said with a smile: "I have a military situation to say, I hope it will not affect your wine." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Luo Tianchu smiled and said: "Military intelligence first, Brother Li, please speak." Li Xiaodao: "Yue Fei sat in Yuncheng, ordered Zhang Xian to lead the army to attack Huaining, Huaining guard Han Chang set up a camp ten miles away, the two armies clashed several times, each other won and lost, and there was a stalemate for a while. The west road Niu Gao led the army to attack the Jingxi East Road, he is a local, geographically skilled, easily took Liang County, Xiangcheng, Ye County, Longxing, Lushan five counties, straight to Ruyang, because of the lack of generals in Qi State, Ruyang will be held by the general of the Jin State Qu Yitu, he is a protégé of Wanyan Lou room, the strategy and martial arts are deep is the true transmission of the teacher, set up a village in the valley, and occupy the nearby hills, the valley is a bottle mouth type, Niu Gao does not dare to rush, and does not dare to easily detour, every move is under the surveillance of Qu Yitu, and the dilemma has been several days. Luo Tianchu raised his glass and said: "Everyone drink happily today, tomorrow we will embark on the journey again." ”

That night, Luo Tianchu led Zhu Yushi, Gu Yao, Yan Weifeng, Xiao Zhonglou, Li Xiao, Lu Ning, Hu Boss and 10,000 cavalry to leave Luoyang. Lu Fei led the main force to set off the next day, leaving Du Shu and Cai Lianhua to guard Luoyang, and Zhao Hengshan, who was seriously injured, also reluctantly stayed.

Luo Tianchu's cavalry troops galloped all the way in the direction of Ruzhou, and by dawn they had already walked most of the distance, so they slowed down their horses and sent four scouts to the front to reconnoitre, and the army rested and fed the horses behind the shady hillside. The soldiers worked hard all night, sleeping on the grass and taking turns to stand guard. Hu Bai handed the freshly boiled decoction to Luo Tianchu and said, "I have missed the time to take the medicine, the castle lord should take it quickly." After Luo Tianchu finished drinking, he said: "It's hard for Brother Hu to work all the way, and he has to decoct medicine for me, so I really don't want to go." Hu Bai said: "Whoever hasn't been on the road all night, where the army goes, there must be a doctor, this is the duty of the subordinates." Luo Tianchu nodded and said, "What Brother Hu said is, go and sleep, some people are busy fighting at night." Hu Bai said: "In the first two days, the castle lord was fighting, eating and drinking, and he slept at ease after checking his pulse. Luo Tianchu smiled and said: "Brother Hu is so careful, so annoying." ”

Hu Bai took his pulse, let out a soft "huh", and frowned. Zhu Yushi next to him said nervously: "What's wrong? What's wrong?" At this time, Gu Yao, Yan Weifeng, Xiao Zhonglou and others also surrounded him, Hu Bai frowned and said: "The pulse of the castle lord this time is very unstable, strong and weak, fast and slow, elusive, and it is difficult for me to make a conclusion." Zhu Yushi said worriedly: "This is not a good sign. Luo Tianchu smiled bitterly and nodded. Yan Weifeng, who didn't know why, asked: "I see Brother Luo taking medicine every day, I don't know what kind of illness he had, is it serious?" Gu Yao knew the inside story, and saw that Luo Tianchu had a look at him, so he had to keep silent, Luo Tianchu smiled and said: "A little internal injury and minor illness, just adjust it, brothers don't worry." Xiao Zhonglou said: "If the internal injury is not well conditioned, it will be a big deal, and the younger brother also knows some medical science, so why don't you let me take a look." Luo Tianchu smiled: "No need, don't worry about me, go and rest." At that moment, he even coaxed and deceived everyone to leave, Zhu Yushi sighed, glanced at him, and was silent. Luo Tianchu also sighed: "I know what you want to say. Zhu Yushi said: "I have already said what I want to say many times, and if you insist on not listening to me, I can only respect your opinion and accompany you to the end." Luo Tianchu laughed and said, "Good brother." ”

Luo Tianchu is not bitter in his heart, he can also detect the signs of internal injuries, and he also knows what the result of the attack is, knowing that he will die soon, sadness and sadness are inevitable, but he has finally taken Luoyang, but he has a heart, if he can help Yue Fei take Bianliang again and form an unbreakable Central Plains Alliance, it doesn't matter if he closes his eyes at that time, but before that, he must not fall, he must not. Zhu Yushi also guessed his thoughts, so he resisted the idea of going home to visit his relatives, and accompanied him on the journey again, just to help him fulfill his wish.

At dusk, all the scouts returned, and found that there was no ambush ahead, and they also heard from the hunters that there was a path that could go around Ruzhou and lead to the valley. Luo Tianchu was overjoyed, and asked the soldiers to bury the pot to cook, and continued to march after a full meal. Led by the spies, the army walked a rough mountain road. It was very difficult to walk after dark, the soldiers could only lead the horses on foot, fortunately this section of the road was not long, and turned into the dense forest, the soldiers in the front row took machetes to cut through thorns and thorns, paving the way for the cavalry, until the third watch did not come out of the woods, the soldiers were covered in stinky sweat, and breathed the outside air.

The spy pointed to the fire in the west with his hand and said, "That's the Qi army camp." Luo Tianchu carefully observed and found that in addition to the three camps in the valley, there were also hundreds of people stationed on the three nearby mountains, separated by dozens of zhang, which could be used for reconnaissance and as watchtowers for archery. Luo Tianchu said: "If you want to break the enemy village, you must pull out the mountain, otherwise it will be difficult to put arrows on the mountain, and the attack must be carried out at the same time." Brother Gu led 1,000 infantry to attack the east mountain, Brother Yan and Brother Li led 1,000 infantry to attack the west mountain, Brother Xiao, Brother Lu, and Brother Hu led 1,000 infantry to attack the southwest mountain. The generals took orders.

Luo Tianchu and the soldiers led their horses down the hillside, they slowly marched in to cover the cry, and the other three roads climbed towards the target mountain peak by the night, and when they encountered a small group of patrols, they were killed by the masters, without making a sound, and they all successfully arrived at the foot of the mountain after a while, waiting for Luo Tianchu's signal.

The firelight of the valley and the mountain was clearly visible, Luo Tianchu ordered all the soldiers to get on their horses, holding strong bows, and said: "Ignite the fire!" Three torches were lit up in the army, and they were extinguished in a flash, and there were already soldiers on the mountain pointing to the bottom of the mountain and shouting, Luo Tianchu bent his bow and arrow, and shot the man to death with an arrow, and shouted angrily: "Rush with me!" The guards of the Qi army were not lax, and they had been monitoring the army of the Niu Gao army, but they did not expect that the enemy army would emerge from the rear, and they panicked for a while, and ran out of the camp tent one after another, and entered the battle without wearing all the armor. Luo Tianchu jumped into the fence on his horse, took advantage of the fact that the Qi army was not yet in line, single-handedly entered the enemy group, pierced through the three Qi soldiers with one shot, provoked with one arm, shook in the air, and smashed two more people when the corpse fell. The Qi soldiers began to besiege Luo Tianchu's mount, Luo Tianchu stood up the horseman, kicked one person to death with his front hooves, and then took advantage of the situation to lay the horse down, and the spears of the Qi army pierced into the air. Luo Tianchu turned over and jumped up, the gun followed the people, like a wild dragon dancing, the Qi army screamed endlessly, and fell to the ground after being shot, and then he flew on the horse, at this time a large number of Qi soldiers came and surrounded him in the middle.

Hearing only the sound of "boom", the gate of the camp was rushed open by the Blood Knife Fort, Zhu Yushi rushed in with 7,000 cavalry, and the infantry of the Qi army suddenly became a floating cloud, and was killed indiscriminately like a watermelon chopping vegetables, leaving countless corpses. The cavalry is most afraid of bows and arrows, but the archers on the three hills are still too busy to take care of themselves, the attacking troops are all infantry with shields, although the archers of the Qi army have a condescending advantage, but the arms are restrained, the damage is limited, but the fireball attack of the Qi army is quite threatening, the fireball made of hay and dry branches, after burning, it rolls down the hillside, forcing back several waves of attacks, but the number of fireballs is not much, and it is difficult to resist the impact of the blood knife fort after it is used up.

Luo Tianchu and Zhu Yushi joined forces to kill the enemy, led the cavalry to rampage in the village, and maintained a movement war, bringing the cavalry's combat power to the extreme. The number of the Qi army was similar to that of the Blood Knife Fort, but there was no formation at all, and they fought separately like scattered sand, and it didn't take long for all of them to surrender on their knees, and Dazhai fell.

Suddenly, there was a sharp sound of wind breaking in the sky, and Luo Tianchu said loudly: "Be careful of arrows!" "Whoosh" arrow rain fell, and many cavalry fell from their horses. It turned out that the reinforced troops led by Qu Yitu arrived. Qu Yitu deserved to be a battle-hardened general who followed Yan Lou's room, and after seeing the situation, he gave up the rescue and asked the soldiers to erect three rows of spear arrays between the two villages, like a spear wall, and the archers hid in the rear to shoot arrows. Attacking the spear array would have to pay a huge price, because the Qi army could also combine countless spear walls according to the terrain to limit the impact of the cavalry, and Luo Tianchu was planning to retreat to avoid the sharp edge. Suddenly, there was a commotion in the rear of the enemy, it turned out that Niu Gao saw that the back village was on fire, and the people were noisy and neighing, guessing that it was Luo Tianchu's reinforcements, and hurriedly led the army to attack the front village of the Qi army. At the same time, the three earth mountains were also occupied by the Blood Knife Fort, and the soldiers picked up the bows and arrows of the Qi soldiers and shot them at Zhongzhai, and the Qi army exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly raised their shields to avoid the arrows.

Luo Tianchu saw that the opportunity could not be missed, shouted and rushed out, using the cover of the flying arrows in the sky to lift the air and fly the horse over the one-person high spear wall, all the Qi soldiers were dumbfounded, where have I ever seen a horse can jump so high, Luo Tianchu's spear swept is a row of soldiers to the ground, every gun must be gained, there is no one under the general, the person killed is a bloody man, the horse is a bloody horse. The Qi army was intimidated by his momentum, surrounded but did not dare to attack, Luo Tianchu shouted on the horse: "Those who surrender live, and those who resist die!" The Qi soldiers were greedy for life and afraid of death, and when they saw that the general trend had gone, most of them threw away their weapons and surrendered. The enemy camp was so troubled by him, and the spear array was also full of loopholes, and was broken by Zhu Yushi's team, and those who knelt and surrendered were not killed, only those who were still resisting.

The number of surrenderers is increasing, and at this time, a general was killed from the rear of the Qi army, it was Qu Yitu, his appearance was fierce and fierce, his black face was full of beard, full of male masculinity, holding a big knife, beheading all the Qi soldiers who surrendered all the way, and shouted angrily in dry Chinese: "Spineless people! Death in battle is the glory of a man!" After saying that, the spear was raised, and the hard skills of the foreign family were practiced, a seventy pound tiger head knife had the power of 10,000 catties, and the momentum was as fierce as Mount Tai pressed to the top, even if people could withstand it, the horse could not stand it, Zhu Yushi did not flinch to meet the gun, but before the weapon exchanged, the gun in his hand quickly drew a circle in the air, leading away the power of 10,000 catties of Qu Yitu, and turned it into his own use, and fought back on his knife. Qu Yi snorted suddenly, his chest cavity was like being hit by a hammer, the tiger's mouth cracked, the big knife was gone, and he sat down and knelt down. Qu Yishui couldn't move for a long time after he fell to the ground, and his two thick arms like tree trunks trembled. Luo Tianchu applauded: "Okay! Tie it up!" (To be continued.) )
